Hey everybody. First time posting. Ive searched and searched and searched the forums but cant seem to find the answer i need. I have a rooted Verizon Gnex running stock 4.1.1. When the factory image for 4.2.2 was finally released, i DL'd is and tried to run the .zip. Only to find that it was erroring out. I decided to wait VZW pushed the official OTA update and try that. Well, it finally came through last night and, i wish i could say to my surprise, the same issue happened. After scouring the interwebs, the only thing i could find to fix it was to unroot my device. Now if that is the case, then so be it. But if i can avoid wiping my device, i would love that option far more. I also am attaching a pic of the error message that im receiving when i try and update.any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
you modified your build.prop
the error message even says thats the problem.
you need the stock build.prop to be able to take the OTA.
The error tells you what is wrong, it detects something different about your build.prop file. You need to get it back to stock.
E2A: I am redundant, and slow.

Thank you for such a quick response!!!!! Is there someplace that i can DL that and, if so, how would i go about installing it to the phone? Would it be a simple drag and drop?
Thanks again so much

the easiest way to fix your problem is to just flash the system image and nothing else in fastboot. there are several guides on how to do this.
if you want to find a download for the build.prop and change the permissions, you're welcome to try and find it.

Hi, I urgently need help,
I was just watching something when I kept hearing a strange noise, turns out it is the vibrate that the phone does when you turn it on, I looked at it and it was on the Google logo and kept restarting, tried a battery pull, taking sim out etc, and it's still doing it.
I have no idea why it's doing this as I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms or anything?!
I have an interview tomorrow in London and really need to have Google Maps etc, as well as being able to contact people I'm supposed to be meeting! I can't believe this has happened at all, let alone at this moment!
Edit - I'm using the GSM version, running 4.0.1.
Thanks in advance
Bump..
There is something called odin which you can use to flash the stock rom, is that correct? Or fastboot?
I suppose what I want to know, is if you can flash the stock image without being rooted/having an unlocked bootloader? And does it have to be a certain image file?

You can used odin to load a stock image and it will return the phone to the day you got it. You can also use the adb/fastboot method. Search the forums here and you will find very clear instructions for both methods.
Same happened to me a while back and was easy to fix.
Good luck.
Ok thanks!
Edit- Ok I fixed it with the ODIN method, instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20302409&postcount=2
So glad I don't have to send it to get repaired, bit pissed off I lost some of my pictures and stuff (I was 30% through GTA III!) but what can you do I guess! At least I have a working phone again
Help me help me please, I'm so stupid , I have an AT&T S3 unlocked and I'm currently using Tmobile...
I rooted my phone, and I used DEBLOATER FREE, to debloat some of the stuffs in the list. I was actually being careful with the selection. Anyway, I deleted some files, and when I restarted the phone. I'm no longer getting signal. Can someone please help me. I need to get it fix soon. Any helps and advices at this point would be greatly appreciated. Please by the way, i tried to go to setting ->More setting->Mobile Networks, and it freezzed and received a message "unfortunately, settings has stopped"
I used mskip's tool to rooted my phone, if i used that tool to relfash my stock recovery, would this solve the issue?
or I'm on ICS 4.0.4 right now, If i Update the phone to JB would this solve the issue.
Let me add one more thing that, I rooted this phone a long time ago, today i was being stupid and debloat stuffs assuming it won't affect my phone much

just reflash stock rom via odin using this tutorial here ----> you will lose all data so find a way to back it up to your computer.

First of, thanks you so much. I don't think you attach a link for me yet. A quick update, I checked my imei, and it said null/null. so if i used mskip tool to do a efs partition would that solve the issue?
I'm downloading the ics stock rom right now, and I will keep you update. I will probably do it, via mskip's tool. What I'm wondering is, if i used samsung kies and update to JB, would this solve the issue also?
the phone is working fine, it's just i can't make call

I did more research and I think I narrow it down to EFS, mb i deleted my efs folder while debloated my phone, or some random reason...do you know any possible fix? because I didn't back it up. if I'm to re flash stock rom, do you think it will fix this issue?
I found this guide right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
so i re-flashed the stock rom using mskip tool, and now i can make call, but now i'm getting a bunch of messages like process android.process.acore has stopped, and touchwiz home error and i can't get pass that. Please Advise
[SOLVED] thank you so much, got everything back to normal. one more questions, since i re-flashed the stock rom, I can still access CWM recovery, but as i tried to install superuser, it said I can't...this is my first time so can you lead me to the right path?
Just re root your device using the same method.

Hello I have the Lg G2 Sprint, and recently the ota for lollipop was pushed to my phone. I tried installing it (at the time was rooted), it failed halfway. Yesterday I then got the notification for the update again. (After having factory reset the phone) I tried installing it and that to failed halfway. I would love it if you guys could please point me in the right direction. I have been looking over the internet and have not found anything helpful based on my problem. I am sorry if this isn't exactly a question per say, but I thank you giys for any help I may get. I just want to update my phone and not go through the trouble of hours of reinstalling apps and music, etc. Thank you all for your time.

Root breaks update. Always has. If you have changed any file, update fails. If you are using ls980 on any network other then sprint, update will fail as there are files changed.
I was rooted but unrooted and factory reset and it's doing the very same thing. I've got an unlocked LS980 G2 that's been flashed to the Boost Network. Currently running KitKat 4.4.2 , but when I proceed with install the phone resets, appears to install the update slowly till about half-way then skips straight to the end. After restarting itself, it's still running 4.4.2 and says no updates are available.
The phone was previously rooted, but I performed a full unroot via SuperSU, factory reset and confirmed via Root Checker. Any idea what's going wrong here?
Was it initially set as Sprint? The APN may be different which causes it to fail.

I'm not really sure, but i believe so. How might one get around that?
Grab root back, make a copy of your file from /system/etc/apns-conf.XML
Then replace with https://mega.co.nz/#!iEdAxQAK!KfjYqgbPvEgW2ar2dPh4vCaVlrIemkxJ10q_w8XVdTg
Make sure permissions are correct.

Hello so the same thing that Nexus experienced is still happening to me. But I haven't changed the network provider, I only unrooted and then factory reset. Again after the third time since I originally posted, the update failed again. I don't get it, not rooted, factory reset twice now... and it still doesn't work.

Everyone has to remember that the update is very specific. Any change at all will break the update.
Usually it is just APN settings that may be changed on some. Especially boost being that it runs on sprint network.
I have a oneplus 7t, on straight talk using verizon towers.
So since I got the android 12 update, I have spent several hours on the phone with customer service, and haven't been able to fix every issue.
We did fix the problem where I had no data, customer service walked me through updating the APN and that was fixed.
-I still can't receive MMS pictures through the standard app, I can work around that using the google messages app, but that's frustrating since I know something isn't working correctly.
-I randomly get call failed when I try to accept a phone call. This happens very often, but i'm not sure why it doesn't happen every time. I seem to be able to make outbound calls without any issues.
Not being able to fix the call issues, and MMS issues makes me want to roll back to android 11. the phone worked great until this android 12 update. I tried a factory reset, and still have the same issues.
I've tried searching for instructions but all of them are lacking thorough instructions. They say "pick the matching file for your phone", but mine is 1905, but only 1901 and 1903 are listed. I'm sure one of those are supposed to work, but which one?
"download this apk"...... ok, now i have a .apk.zip file that i don't know what to do with.
-delete .zip and i don't know how to make the .apk file install or open
-unzip, and i have 500 files that i don't know what to do with.
"move this to the root storage".... how?
I used to be more tech enabled, but it's been so long since i've rooted a phone or something else this involved. I really just want my phone to work properly again.
Well I can get the local update apk to open, but I can't figure out where to place or what to name the roll back file for that apk to find it. This is frustrating and wasting many hours of my life

Thanks, but that's not super helpful. I'm at the point where I'm struggling to get local update to find it, because I'm not sure where or how to move it to make it be found

Does the file contain something called MSM tool? If so you will need to do this from a Windows PC (or VM).
EDIT: nevermind disregard this post.

Move it from \sdcard\downloads to \sdcard root
I Need a little more specific help than that. Do I need to be hooked to a computer to do that? Does it mean to be changed at all? .zip.jar is correct? Because I've tried moving it from the downloads folder to device storage. It feels right to me, but it's not finding the file to update with.

Thank you, that was the last bit of help I needed with that. I've successfully rolled back and my phone is working correctly, as far as I can tell.
Well you answered my question. "Do not take this upgrade"
